towns not so large as ours ars for
Harding you invitations to visit
them during your Southern tour,
Bolivar has decided to invite yeu
and your lovely wife tospend few
days here. We have concluded
Furthermore to send this invitation
by mail as you have requested. We
feel satisfied that your excellency
has been very severely bored by inVi
tation. committees of one hundred
calling upon YOU. Now, We don't
want you 10 De ID any big hurry
about dc. ding 10 visit us. The wealth
er Is SO very hot, and you are some
what conttitutionaIly dis Jose TO ap~
poplexy and paralysis, ii ecefore 1t
would be unwise for you to fret or
worry yourself about being in a
hurry, as it might bring your health
into sudden distress. Nov, we think
Fsu ought 10 visit eur town as we
Rave plenty of wealth here, and can
give you a kinglY reception. Our
street car lines are not in operation
yet, but we have as fine a coterle OF
surries and hacks as ever whizzed a
corner. We have the cleaneSt and
shadiest streets Of any city in Ten
nessee, and our court house and yard
will remind you of the shadows OF
the nations capitol. Another feature
that should induce you to come are
our Dunlap Springs, just two mil es
from the city, a place where cur elite
refugee for fun and appetite. II you
will spend a day or two at these
springs it will be of incalcuIable benz
eft to your kidneys. You know
President Arthur died of kidney
dIsinl egration, and you ought to be
very careful about Yoms. Mrs.
Cleveland will also find the water
ana society of the springs very re-
lievIng to her. Then there IS the
Hospital for the Insane just two
miles West of the city. If you miss
seeing this, you will fail to look
upon the most magnificent and
modern building of this kind in the
South. fit should ever become
necessary for you TO take up your
abode III an institution of this kind
(aRd we think such an event high
lY probable) you will find this Local
ton the most desirable that could
be chosen for you. But you must
come aud see our IRON mines III East
Hardeman. There are ten square
miles of the finest ore in your do~
minion imbeded IN the infant noun
tains OF that section. The machine nv
has been prepared for furnaces to
work up the ore, and a railroad
has been projected right through
the heart OF IT. Mrs. Cleveland might
go over there with you, and get
some pieces of StathIc and Hematlte
foI her cabinet, and she could get
some pine balls for her children
(Which will eventually bless your
home) to play with. And while
you are oyer there, you could con-
suit with your PiaeY constituency
AMI find out they are undergoing a
change of opinion on the tariff ques-
ton. They could inform you that
they no longer endosle your free-trade
tendencies, but they are getting in
favor Of high tariff to protect their
prospective furnaces. Col. Colyar Is
becoming rightrespectable over there
now, and they are taking sides with
the Virginia Democracy on the Blair
bill. Then, again, you ought to visit
MS on account Of our intentions We
are going to build a spur railway
from Bolivar via the asylum to
Whiteville TO connect with the Mid>
land to give US a direct and quick
base of operation with Memphis.
Ii you will not be in hurry about
coming, we will have it built by the
time of your arrival, and you and
Mrs. Cleveland can go from hele to
Memphis over this line Eve unders
stand that you have promised to be-
little your elf by going to Memphis)
That Midland road runs through
Hardeman, and has 10000
hands at work on it. But we are
going to do more. We are going
to have competition, and we are go>
ing to have wealth. We have de-
cided to build a line from here to
Middleton. This will open a market
for the finest and thickest tim bered
region in yoIr Republic. Mrs.
Cleveland, we know, will be delight
Ell to hear Of this forest, it will make
her feel so cool under her mother
hubbard. Then our ice factory will
be big thing. The enterprisiug
founders OF this industry are jews,
and you know they are awfully
bullheaded In putting things through.
Now, AIr. Cleveland, we must close
our invocation. But there Is one
thing we want to jog your memory
with. We are having the red hot
test fight in these diggins over WINS
